JL'I.IA THERESA WILSON, Director of Department of Music and Instructor it: Piano. Student, Broad Street Conservatory, Philadelphia, 1897-1901 ; Graduate, 1901 ; Instructor, Broad Street Conservatory 1899-1900; Ursimis College, 1900. The Department of Music affords superior advantages for the study of music in all its branches. Miss Wilson is the instructor in piano, grand organ, and theory, while Miss McCain instructs in violin, voice, and mandolin. An extensive course of study has been prepared, after an exhaustive examination of the comparative merits of the best systems employed in this country and abroad. It is not the aim merely to give the students a showy repertoire, but to make them true musicians. This must be achieved by thorough technical training and theoretical work To become broadly educated musically one must be well versed in harmony and theory, and be conversant with the history of music. To this end special instruction is given in these branches. Editiie Overhoet McCain, Instructor in Vio'in, Mandolin, and Voice Student, Van Gelder School Philadelphia, 1897-1900; Student, Voice and Violin, Paris, France, 1902 ; Ursinus College, 1900. 23

The subject is made the basis of grading, each being independent of others so far as the content will permit, while the students’ interests arc not sacrificed to preserve a system of Organization. An organized system of tutoring aids and encourages the backward student, and inspires bis highest efforts.
